Riley Robinson was used to making it on her own. It was more than a year into the end of the world, and she was mostly indifferent to where she was at. She was relatively safe in a camp, with a guy she decently liked, and was getting through each day unscathed... Hell, she was just happy to be around people again. But after Pete is killed by the Governor, she sets out in a haze from her neutral existence where she links up with Rick Grimes, and meets a certain crossbow-wielding hunter named Daryl Dixon. She soon realizes she never had to settle as they start to fall for each other. But things aren't always as easy as they seem, and Riley and Daryl have a long road ahead of them. Join them on their adventure through love, loss, heartbreak, friendships, and new beginnings as they gain their footing in this new world together.

Daryl is a stone-cold killer. Sarah's a victim. Rick is crippled by grief. All true, except when it isn't... (Complete. This story is an alternate timeline that takes place in the time jump between season 8 and 9.) The war with the Saviors may be over, but when Daryl saves Sarah from some men in the woods, he, Rick and the Alexandrian's discover that a new group has arrived on their doorstep. A group that has already taken control of most of the road between Atlanta and Washington, and doesn't intend to stop until they have taken it all. With the stakes higher than ever, can Daryl and Rick bring the Washington communities together to face this new threat? And can Daryl and Sarah's growing bond survive in a world where the walking dead lurk around every corner, and the living can be more dangerous than the dead? Trigger warnings- Like the show, this is a world with lots of violence, some of it sexual in nature, however it's never explicit or gratuitous. I think if you make it through the first chapter okay, then you'll be fine.

In the heart of the apocalypse, Annie Calloway--a former soldier with blood on her hands and a younger brother she'd die to protect. Daryl Dixon is a man who never expected to care about anyone, not after the life he crawled out of. Their connection is as undeniable as it is complicated--two sides of the same coin: She pushes. He anchors. And through every bloodstained mile, every loss, their bond becomes something more than survival--it becomes their reason to survive. As war looms, grief festers, and the world demands more from them than they ever thought they had left, Annie and Daryl are forced to face not just what they've done... but who they are becoming. Because in a world where everything is falling apart, the only thing that might hold them together is What Remains. (I don't own any part of TWD franchise, only Annie and her story!)

Daryl Dixon has faced a lot since the world changed and this has resulted in even greater change in his own life. Once a reckless and volatile man, he has now become a respected and productive member of Alexandria. Most importantly, he has become a loved member of a family drawn together by hardship. When a beautiful new doctor arrives in Alexandria, will he be able to leave his past completely behind and trust that he is worthy of love? "I like playing these awkward moments in between that build relationships. I don't ever want to play that character that grabs the girl and has my way with her. That's just not who that character is. If Daryl falls in love with you, he's going to love you for the rest of his life." Norman Reedus Hey Reedus Readers, This is my first attempt at fan fiction, and I hope y'all enjoy reading it as much as I'm enjoying writing it. It is based primarily on the storyline from AMC's The Walking Dead, and uses the characters and relationships from the show. It begins just before the first battle with the Saviors (the end of season 7 of the show), and assumes the storyline follows Robert Kirkman's comic going forward. If you are not a reader of the comic, there may be some Season 8 spoilers here if the show follows the book closely. Mature content All AMC The Walking Dead characters and storylines belong to AMC, and my fictional characters and any changes in storyline belong to me.

"Survive now. Cry later. " ♤ "Sweetheart, hush now" I whispered as we hid in the tiny mahogany closest, a small stream of light drifting in. He made a small whimper causing me to pull him closer to my chest as the footsteps got louder. Squeezing my eyes closed, I heard the squeaking of a floorboard as the light disappeared and an eye came into view. "Hey lil bro! Come see what I found!" A loud, raspy, harsh voice chuckled. My heart sped up. This was it.. #1 in #twdlovestory #13 in #twdfanfic out of 2.8K #9 in #daryl
